GREAT pictures, many thanks! Finally a Bugatti Veyron is participating in Gumball!

Something tells me that the participants are not going all out as they did back in 2000:

Yeah they are not going nearly even close as fast as back in 2000 or those years. Everybody's going little above speed limit or speed limit, some lambo's were speeding but that's about it

I think most participants will be mindful of what happened in Europe during the 2007 rally, so are probably keeping a check on their speed.
